There's a new place for Canton residents to indulge their cravings for sashimi and a spicy tuna roll.
The Sushi Place opened this month at 2224 Fleet St. in a space formerly occupied by Tijuana Tacos.
The business is the first restaurant for co-owners Billy Malkin and Eugene McDowell who work as contractors. Construction and renovation on the location started three months ago and the space has been totally gutted and remodeled as a 23-seat restaurant, says Manager Ron Choi.
The Sushi Place offers of menu of nigiri, sashimi, and specialty rolls, which include a spider roll with deep-fried soft shell crab and spicy mayo and the yellowtail basil roll made with yellowtail and topped with mozzarella cheese, tomato, and balsamic vinegar.
Prices for the specialty rolls range from $12 to $15, and appetizers range from $4 to $7.
Choi says restaurant management aspires to specialize in great customer service and wants to create a friendly, neighborhood sushi bar atmosphere.
"We kind of felt that when people come home they don't want to leave their parking spots, so we kinda felt like this is a good idea. We'll specialize in the people that live around Canton. It's a great neighborhood, great people live in Canton," Choi says.
The restaurant employs 10 and is currently hiring for sushi chefs, delivery people and servers.
The Sushi Place opens daily at 12 p.m., and closes at 9 p.m. except on Saturdays and Sundays when it stays open until 11 p.m.
